Xiaomi will unveil its Mi TV 4 in India tomorrow, alongside the Redmi Note 5 series, according to a report.

Just like the Redmi Note 5, the Note 5 Pro has a 5.99-inch display with a 2160 x 1080px resolution which translates to an 18:9 aspect ratio. The handset tags a price starting at Rs 13,999 for the 4GB RAM model and Rs 16,999 for the 6GB RAM version.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is fueled by a 4,000mAh battery carrying support for 5V/2A charging. And as it has been the hallmark of the Chinese brand's campaign in the country, the motto with the new Redmi Note 5 Pro too is to offer more for less. The aperture on this primary lens is F/2.2 and the secondary camera on the front is a 5MP sensor with LED Selfie Light and also supports FullHD video recording. The Redmi Note 5 is backed by a 4000mah battery and it runs on MIUI 9 based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor with which users can unlock the device. The phone will come in two memory configurations, with 4/6GB RAM, and both will sport 64GB storage.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 sports a 12-megapixel rear camera with an aperture of f/2.2, a 1.25-micron pixel size, PDAF, EIS, and an LED flash module. In a move that will garner a lot of eyeballs, Xiaomi has gone for a vertically placed dual-camera setup which is positioned uncannily similar to the iPhone X. Even the LED flash is placed between the two sensors, like the iPhone X. The connectivity features available on the Redmi Note 5 include 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, microUSB and 3.5mm audio jack. Both front and rear cameras offer Portrait mode Bokeh effects. Helping things along is a 4500k selfie light and AI-enhanced Beautify 4.0 to analyze a face and offer custom improvements. The smartphone is backed by a 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, while there is another variant that comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage option. It is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor, and is available in 3G B/4GB RAM variants.
